Rose Tinted Glasses

Augmented reality is getting pretty big now. Being able to see around you details and relevant information that you don't see with the naked eye is getting awfully close to the scifi movies of yesteryear: the Terminator looking around to see if someone's clothing is his size, sensing if someone's stress level reveals if he's lying.

In a few months we'll have iPhone apps that use the camera and screen overlays to depict the world around you as an alien world in a first-person shooter. We already have apps that show you what deals stores around you have at that time.

Now the next step will be something that will integrate into glasses, rather than a handheld device. The Apple iVisor. Make it.

(Actually, don't. Gotta be too distracting for driving. If you think doing phone calls in traffic is bad...)
